Okay, now you're just being childish. You don't think a QB or a team has ever downplayed injuries? It doesn't make sense that they'd want to keep him out there as much as they could because they believe it would give them the best shot of winning? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No, you're going to believe what you want. You've made it very clear that you're looking for drama. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I know right, and the gov behind 9-11, that's so unbelievable, everyone knows it was Kyle Broflovski...
Since it's so hard to believe, maybe if you read this, you'll understand: http://www.indystar.com/story/sport...-qb-andrew-luck-dealing-broken-ribs/75001308/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Colts general manager Ryan Grigson issued a statement through the team Sunday afternoon, denying the team has committed a violation. “Our injury reports are accurate,” Grigson’s statement said. “If people have any questions about player injuries, they should refer to our injury reports."
Oh, I'm convinced now. What did all the guilty teams in the past say? "Our reports are inaccurate, you got us"??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yes, Hasselbeck wasn't and isn't injured. He did surprisingly well for a veteran his age that hasn't been in a regular season game for a while. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
So, if your vet backup was doing just fine, why bring in an injured starter, especially if it's cracked ribs? Further, if you bring Luck in injured, and he sucks so bad, why keep starting him? It just doesn't make sense.
They probably didn't expect Hasselbeck to continue to do well. Did anybody expect those performances by a guy his age that hadn't played in a while? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If you don't care about our oline I don't care about your boys injuries. He's a wimp. he sucked for most of the year. Lets see if he can keep the momentum of the last gm and a Half and salvage his season
I never said I didn't care about our OL. I compared similar and worse OLs! Lol what's wrong with you??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
you said the colts have a worse oline than us. just out of curiosity did it ever cross your mind that a 40 year old QB couldnt possibly win two games behind an offensive line worse than us. they have the 8th best passing line in the nfl
Source? I'm willing to bet their run blocking is worse than ours and they've always relied on Luck more than we have on Tannehill even considering our lack of balance in play calling. And I'm willing to bet whatever you're citing doesn't take into account the pocket presence or escapability of QBs. Edit: we'll see how he continues to do while Luck is out but if you honestly think Hasselbeck is better than a healthy Luck, you are myopic and misinformed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
i dont believe hasselbeck is better, smarter yes, but not better. luck just had a bizarre meltdown this year. it seems to be behind him but it wasnt due to injuries, it was due to bad decision making. colts rank 19th in run blocking. miami is 17th basically a tie pocket presence lol football outsiders is the source so where is this magic list of worse olines. we've destroyed one of your claims....the colts.....and werent you also claiming the patriots had a horrible oline? well thats two
Bizarre meltdown that can be explained by injuries... What else explains it? Yeah, pocket presence and escapability affect sack rate. Are you going according to sack rate solely or other factors as well? Run blocking lower ranked by two, so I was right about that at the very least, but let's call it a tie. Although I'm sure we could run for more yards just by more balanced play calling and that would propel us even higher. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You don't. There's a reason why I use stats AND analysis. Ask resnor. I don't just look at pass attempts vs run attempts and that's it. I like to analyze the play by play so I understand the context. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That being said, I'm most likely wrong about the Colts line being worse, especially since I haven't seen many of their games. I was mostly basing my guess on their terrible running (I've noticed Gore has been garbage in fantasy for other owners), Luck's injuries despite his pocket presence and Faulk's prediction. But something tells me their high pass ranking doesn't factor in pressures, hits after the ball is thrown or average time allowed to throw. Cbrad has already explained how difficult it is to rank OLs. So many factors to take into account. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
they use a variation of sacks. personally i prefer pressure. i dont care about sacks. pressure is what you want to disrupt the qb. you want him uncomfortable. a nervous qb is a bad qb
Well, I'd agree sacks are overrated. Pressures get the job done, for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It has to be quality pressure though, a sack is a negative play, a pressure may not even disrupt the QB much at all, a little half step up into the pocket may negate a pressure, Dion Jordan for example was a guy that got mostly poor pressures, which is why he didn't get sacks, because he wasn't beating the man in front of him forcing the QB to either run or throw it away, or attempt a bad pass.
Yeah, sacks are obviously better but I meant they're overrated compared to pressures. A sack isn't really all that better than quality pressures. A couple of incompletions due to pressures is already better than a sack for 5 yards in my opinion. It all depends, you know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yea, it all depends, but the thing is that a player who gets a lot of good quality pressures also gets sacks, so I think they really go hand in hand.
